Ketogenic Diet

This is the best description of the diet I've seen around. Found this on a post on Facebook.

The ketogenic diet is a treatment for controlling seizures by switching a body's primary metabolism to a fat-based energy source rather than using glucose. It is high fat intake and very low in carbohydrates and protein. What's left in the body from burning fat is called ketones and the acids are used by the liver and by the brain as a source of energy. They do not know why but large levels of ketone bodies control seizures.
